Classical Pilates, one to one.

The classical Reformer preserves the distinctive proportions, spring configuration and mechanical characteristics associated with Joseph Pilates’ original apparatus.

Traditionally equipped with four springs of equal resistance, leather straps and a compact carriage, its design creates a very different movement experience from many contemporary Reformers.

The carriage, wheels and springs work together to create resistance and feedback throughout the exercise. You must actively press the carriage away, control its return and maintain the connection to your centre throughout.

The traditional leather straps, fixed pulley positions and classical footbar also influence how the body experiences each movement. Every detail has a purpose.

Unlike a Reformer, its stationary surface allows us to explore movement without the added challenge of a moving carriage.

The positioning, direction and resistance of the springs can help the body discover connections that are difficult to access elsewhere.

From supported spinal movement to demanding advanced exercises, the Cadillac offers an extraordinary range of possibilities. An apparatus that can support the body while teaching it to work more independently.

The direction of the springs changes the challenge, allowing us to work with resistance from different angles.

Unlike simply adding weight to an exercise, the springs provide continuous feedback as the body moves. They can assist movement in one direction while challenging control in another.

An opportunity to understand movement before taking that connection elsewhere in the system.

Its traditional spring configuration, pedal mechanics and dimensions create a distinctive resistance experience.

Unlike the Reformer, there is no moving carriage to support the length of the body. You must organise balance, strength and stability while controlling the pedal against the springs.

The Chair can reveal weaknesses in connection and control that may be less apparent on other apparatus. Less external support. Greater responsibility for your own movement.

Its curved surface and raised step provide opportunities for extension, articulation, abdominal work and controlled movement.

Unlike a flat exercise mat, its shape changes the relationship between the body and gravity. This allows us to explore movements with support while developing the strength needed to control them.

The aim is not simply to increase flexibility, but to develop strength throughout the movement.

Its traditional shape and dimensions create specific relationships between the body, gravity and the apparatus.

It allows us to explore spinal extension, lateral movement, flexibility and strength.

The ladder provides an anchor while the barrel supports the body, allowing movement to be challenged progressively.

Flexibility is only part of the work. Control is what makes it meaningful.
